That's an easy way of passing it off as the actions of one guy and not a very blatant display of institutional racism tbf.

Not meaning that's what you're saying but probably worth being careful about giving weight to arguments like that. I'd imagine a lot of people desp to defend the police would prefer that it was a personal problem rather than what (imo) it clearly was.

Yeah I was just reporting what is being said on the news this morning. It's an interesting development that they may have known each other and you wonder if Chauvin had singled him out previously. I think it's fairly clear from the number of controversial and inflammatory incidents this particular policeman has been involved in there should have been serious question marks against him even before this horrific death.

The consensus seems to be that the Democrats are going to need to bin Biden and bring in a different opponent. He just doesn't seem capable anymore and the idea of him going head to head with Trump in what would be physically taxing months of campaigning seems improbable. Whether the Coronavirus and now these toxic scenes in cities around the country impact things is definitely possible but at the moment Trump is still a favourite with the bookmakers.

Not convinced this is a strategy they had to learn from the Chinese tbf Monty Chuckle

Has Chauvin not been involved in multiple other racist incidents?

The Americans were doing that during the anti-war protests for Vietnam and probably a lot further back.

FBI top marksmen when replicating the 3 shots in the timeframe from the Zapruda film couldn't replicate what Oswald is alleged to have done. Then you throw in a defective scope.....

12. Crowe

The woman Biden wanted for VP, Amy Klobuchar, was Attorney General for Minnesota and declined to bring charges against police offices caught up in incidents against the public on multiple occasions. Chauvin was one of them. The extent to which public figures will protect police officers from the consequences they should face is sickening.

They should ban Trump's twitter for a laugh.

Probably end up sending SEAL team 6 to storm their offices or something.

Honestly no idea what you do about it at this stage. He's got away with lying egregiously and stoking racial tensions for years now, but this kind of censorship just plays right into his narrative Monty Oh Well

I see that the Florida state fired its COVID data manager because the data she was publishing was too transparent. Now they're reporting that the virus is under control, but coincidentally are experiencing a massive spike in “pneumonia” deaths Monty Oh You

Imagine guarding the cunts house for about 36 hours instead of having him arrested straight away. Utter madness.
